The same can be said for sum, integrate, x^2, or 355/133. :-)

I actually rather like the 2-D display because it roughly matches what
math books show.  Especially for things like assoc_legendre_p(n,m,x).  I
can never remember which parameter n and m are, but the 2D display makes
it clear to me.

But I won't oppose removing the 2D display.
